Sierra Club \/ WTC Biography<\/span>: I began climbing with the Hundred Peaks Section in 2000 and someone told me about WTC.\u00a0 I signed up, thinking, \u201cI don\u2019t want to go to snow camp but I\u2019ll do everything else,\u201d but ended up loving snow.\u00a0 I came on board as a WTC instructor, became an O, then I-rated leader.\u00a0 I continued leading and peakbagging with HPS, finishing the HPS list (277 peaks) in 2002.\u00a0 I was content at the I-level for several years, then was able to get additional training in rock and mountaineering, largely due to Mike Adams (Group 1) and Neal Robbins (Group 3).\u00a0 I gained enough experience over a few years to eventually become M-rated in rock and snow (2013).\u00a0 I lead trips for WTC, Sierra Peaks Section, Desert Peaks Section, Hundred Peaks Section, and Mule Pack Section.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Wilderness Biography<\/span>: I\u2019ve always loved the outdoors, from playing in my sandbox and climbing trees, to family camping trips and hiking, to gardening and watersports. I don\u2019t feel grounded and peaceful if I am trapped inside for any length of time. Like many, I NEED to be outside for my spirit to be free. I’ve been laid up with recovering from three orthopedic surgeries in the past 9 months and it has been difficult to be tethered to home. I can’t wait until I’m off restrictions and can hike, backpack, and join Sierra Club outings again! Never stop exploring!
